What does it say on the billboard? I think I see WOLVES in the second line.
*Aha, it’s the title: “You push and pull like wolves at the door and all I hear is humming.”

Head On installation by the renowned Cai Guo-Qiang , consisting of 99 life-sized replicas of wolves.
With few wolves scattered in the front gallery, all ninety-nine wolves run, gallop, and jump toward the far end of the exhibition hall, where a wall stands. The bravery of the wolves is met head on by the unyielding wall. As the leading wolves go down, many more follow with force and determination. As those in the front fall and pile up, those behind take up their positions.
This must be so awesome in person.

“Her affection for him was now the breath and life of Tess’s being; it enveloped her as a photosphere, irradiated her into forgetfulness of her past sorrows, keeping back the gloomy spectres that would persist in their attempts to touch her—doubt, fear, moodiness, care, shame. She knew that they were waiting like wolves just outside the circumscribing light, but she had long spells of power to keep them in hungry subjection there.”

Artist Vero Navarro: “This is a series of photo-illustrations made in collaboration with the Madrid based fashion photographer Rai Robledo (www.rairobledo.com). We prepared a photo session with the charming Chloé, the model of all the pictures. The illustrations are done after the shooting, with coloured pencils over paper and then PS”

“‘The planet is covered by silvery sleep’ is an art installation by Konoike Tomoko. This three metre long six-legged wolf is covered in pieces of mirror and is trailing wolf hides. It embodies movement, myth, self reflection, an oblique unknowability, the esoteric, the hidden, the supernatural. It’s shattered mirror surface expresses a broken reflection and it’s post-animal mineral composition. It represents ourselves reflected in nature, its our multitude of selves. One day i’ll be able to put how I feel about this in proper sentences, but right now all I can say is that I’ve come to consider this sculpture the apex of myth.” - from The Black Wolf Blog (link below)
Silvery Sleep
Yes, this is incredible. But why are there WOLF HIDES on the ground??

“Thanks in part to more than 65,000 messages from Defenders supporters like you, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has decided to take no action in response to Alaska’s proposal to kill half the wolves on Unimak Island.”
